Black polyethylene “mulch film” gets tucked snugly around crop rows, clear plastic sheeting covers hoop houses, and most farmers use plastic seed trays, irrigation tubes, and fertilizer bags. These synthetic polymer products have often been used to help boost yields up to 60 percent and make water and pesticide use more efficient.

The records contain information about the crop yield, production cost, assets used, and other relevant data. Fertilizers will reduce the risk of low yields, and pesticides will minimize the risk of crop damage. If you keep the records accurately, they will help you see variations in production and prices over time.
